1982 Map of Merrill

Rural development is clustered around family-named landmarks and local institutions, including Howard Cem and Mt Sinai Ch. Further south, the map reveals the University of Mississippi Forest and the Pascagoula River State Wildlife Management Area, where the terrain transitions into a complex of wetlands and sloughs like Booger Hole Slough. The presence of several small burial grounds, such as Eubanks Dickerson Cem and Pipkins Cem, provides valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing the local families of George and Greene Counties.
